he could not come up. The Colonel re-
! piled that he wss the presiding officer of
the Senate and must take his seat, and
stepped forward, when the doorkeeper re-
PEELED him to the foot of the stairs.
Thereupon he stood in front of the clerks
desk and stated that he had been elect
ed Lieutenant-Governor of the State,
and by the Constitution was the presd-
ing officer of the Senate and demanded his
seat The point of order was raised that
| none but members of the Senate could
| take up the time of that body, which Smith
| sustained, and called upon the doorkeeper
| to remove Robertson from the chamber.
| The doorkeeper approached Robertson,
took his arm, and the two walked out to
F., the main door. The crowd saw Robertson
come out, and there was great excitement.
/ He mounted the steps and made q speech,
reciting what had happened in the cham
! ber and cautioned the people to do moth
ing that would infringe the peace or dignity
Of the State, or that they would regret in
cooler moments. This ended the trouble
and Colonel Robertson passed out into the
| hail OF the House, which body had not vet
met. During the excitement about the

thirsty Anarchist. In one corner was a
square box. securely fastened to the sides
of trunk, and in the box was what the
/, officers supposed to be an internal machine,
cylindrical in shape, about Is inches long,
and 4 or inches in diameter. Scattered
about the trunk were particles of gun
I
/ parts of the room We're found tools of
all sorts, electric batteries and other electric
appliances. Also 80 glass tnbes, ranging
| from one inch to so inches in length, and
| said TO be used in the manufacture of
nitro-glycerine. Revolvers and guns were
scattered about the apartments. The land
lady said Eckart came to board at the
place three months ago, and seemed like
quiet and inoffensive German. He had
plenty of money, and earned $50 week at
the Union Switch and Signal Company.
His employers speak of him as being in
dustrious, but peculiar. Chief Blackmore is
of the opinion that he is an Anarchist, and
has gone crazy trying to invent soTue terri
